OMA1 high-throughput screening assay
exploratoryEnable scalable discovery of OMA1 activators and inhibitors for mitochondrial disease-relevant drug screening.
Cellular OMA1 protease assay using an engineered luciferase reporter targeted to the mitochondrial inner membrane, where reporter signal inversely correlates with OMA1 activity.
Published high-throughput screen reported validation of the reporter assay and identification of both OMA1 activators and inhibitors.
The screen found that kinase inhibitors can activate OMA1 and demonstrated that the assay can detect compounds modulating OMA1 activity.
